Answer:

Average rate of return =  14 %

Explanation:

Average rate of return = Annual average return/ Average Investment

Average investment =( Initial investment + scrap value)/2

Average investment = 138,000 + 12,000/2 =75,000

Average annual return = Savings in cost - energy cost - depreciation

Depreciation = (initial cost - scrap value)/2= (138,000 - 12,000)/2= 12600

Average annual return = 29,780-6,680-12600= 10500

Average rate of return = 10,500/75,000 × 100= 14 %

Average rate of return =  14 %

Answer:

At what price is revenue maximum?

  • $13 and $12 per unit (maximum revenue $156,000)

What is the maximum revenue and how many sets of headphones should the company expect to sell?

  • $156,000

Write your conclusions in a sentence.

  • When the price is higher than $12 per unit, demand is elastic, which means any decrease in price will result in a larger proportional increase in quantity demanded. This in turn increases total revenue. Below $12 per unit, demand is inelastic, which means that a decrease in price will result in a smaller increase in quantity demanded.

The price of a ranchette estate is $260,000. The bank requires a 15% down payment and 3 points at the time of closing. The cost
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Missing word<em> "and the cost of one point at the time of closing"</em>

<em />

Down payment = $260,000*15%

Down payment = $260,000*0.15

Down payment = $39,000

Amount of mortgage = $260,000 - $39,000

Amount of mortgage = $221,000

Cost of 3 point at the time of closing = 3% of amount of mortgage

Cost of 3 point at the time of closing = 3% * $221,000

Cost of 3 point at the time of closing = $6,630
